Confiscated and exiled, the down-and-out general became the queen

When Fan Shiwen heard this, he frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Seeing this, the woman quickly pointed her finger at the girl and said angrily: "City Lord, we want to cancel the engagement."

Hearing this, everyone looked at the woman and the old man who were still kneeling on the ground.

After hearing this, Fan Shiwen probably guessed something. He sat down again and looked at the old woman, "Madam, what do you want me to do for you?"

When the old woman heard this, she pointed at the girl and said, "Sir, although this matter is not Xiu'er's fault, but with her current reputation, our Liu family must not marry her again."

As soon as the woman said this, the woman kneeling on the ground, whom she called Xiu'er, turned her head to look at the man beside her. Seeing that the man didn't say anything but just hid behind his mother, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

Seeing this, the old man was about to speak when his daughter pulled his sleeve. He turned around and saw her shaking her head.

The old man was stunned for a moment when he saw this, but when he saw his daughter's expression, he sighed lightly and sat down on the ground.

Seeing that Fan Shiwen didn't say anything, the woman hurriedly said, "Sir, please help me."

When Fan Shiwen heard this, he frowned and said, "You can decide this matter by yourselves. Why do you want me to make the decision?"

Upon hearing this, the woman coughed lightly and said, "Sir, when we got engaged, we gave a betrothal gift of five taels of silver. Now that we are canceling the engagement, shouldn't you return the silver to us?"

When Fan Shiwen heard this, he turned his head and looked at the woman kneeling on the ground, "Hu Xiu'er, what do you think about this?"

When Hu Xiuer heard this, she looked at the man and said, "Brother Chengwen, do you also want to cancel the engagement?"

The man shook his head when he heard this, but when he saw his mother staring at him, he lowered his head and whispered, "I'm sorry, Xiu'er, your reputation now means you can't enter the Liu family."

When Hu Xiuer heard this, she laughed sarcastically. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Leng Haoxuan standing up.

"Are you still a man if you say that?"

When Liu Chengwen heard this, he frowned and said, "It's none of your business."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Lengyue's expression changed. Just as she was about to step forward, she saw Hu Xiuer standing in front of Leng Haoxuan. After bowing to him, she said gratefully, "Thank you, sir, for coming forward to clarify this for me.

I can handle the rest on my own.”

When Leng Haoxuan heard this, he nodded and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Hu Xiuer smiled and turned to look at Liu Chengwen, "I agree to cancel the engagement."

As soon as these words came out, the people around started to talk about it, and even a few old ladies looked at Hu Xiuer and said earnestly: "Girl, you must not agree to it.

Once you agree, it will be even harder for you to get married.”

"Yes, yes, if you cancel the engagement, it will be difficult for you to get married afterwards."

····························

Hu Xiuer listened to the discussions of the people around her and looked at the old woman, “Aunt Liu, let’s just withdraw in front of the city lord.

As for the betrothal money, can we return it to you after some time?"

When the old woman heard this, she said unhappily, “No.

Since the engagement has been cancelled, you must return the betrothal gift now."

When the old man heard this, he frowned and said, "We will definitely pay you back, but we don't have any money right now. Wait for me..."

Before the old man finished speaking, the old woman asked, "Did you use the money to treat that woman?"

When the old man heard this, he immediately looked at Liu Chengwen. Seeing his guilty look, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Perhaps, calling off this marriage is a good thing.

Seeing this, the old woman looked at Hu Xiuer and said, "Since you spent all your money on her, then you should just compensate her to us."

As soon as these words came out, Hu Xiuer looked at the old woman fiercely and said in a very firm attitude: "No, I gave her the money voluntarily, it's none of her business."

The old woman didn't expect Hu Xiu'er's attitude to become so strong. After a moment of hesitation, she said unhappily, "Xiu'er, is this how you talk to me?"

When Hu Xiuer heard this, she chuckled, "Madam Liu, since we have already called off the engagement, I naturally don't have to serve you like I do my mother-in-law."

The old woman was choked when she heard this. When she wanted to scold her, she suddenly thought of the woman in her family. She took a deep breath and said coldly: "Anyway, if you don't pay back the money, then we will take that woman away."

As soon as these words came out, Fan Shiwen frowned slightly and said, "Madam, haven't they already promised to return the money to you?"

When the old woman heard this, she began to cry, "Sir, you don't know that the betrothal money was also collected by me from all over the place.

Now that the marriage is not going through, I will definitely have to look for a new daughter-in-law, and when the time comes, I will definitely use this money as a betrothal gift."

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around saw that the old woman's expression changed.

The old man looked at the old woman's relentless look, sighed softly, took out a tael of silver from his arms, and looked at Hu Xiuer.

"Xiu'er, how about returning this tael to them first?"

"Dad, this is for her to get medicine. If we give it back to them, she won't survive."

When the old man heard this, his eyes were full of struggle. He took a deep breath and looked at the old woman, "I will return one or two taels of silver to you first, and when I have collected the rest, I will return the rest to you.

Don't worry, it will only take three days. Within three days, I will collect the money for you and return the rest to you in front of the city lord."

Hu Xiuer didn't expect her father to say such a thing. She frowned slightly and said, "Dad, our family only has this little silver, which was collected by the villagers."

Hearing this, the old man sighed and said, "When I get back, I will sell the land at home, and that should be enough to pay it back."

When these words came out, Hu Xiuer was stunned. She didn't expect that her father would be willing to sell the land.

After hearing this, Fan Shiwen pondered for a while and looked at the old woman, "Madam, how about this? I'll ask them to prepare the money for you within three days.

If you can’t prepare it, then let them give you the land as compensation.”

When the old woman heard this, she turned to look at her son. When she saw his disappointed expression, she shook her head and said, "I don't want their land.

If you cannot compensate us by then, you will have to hand over the woman to us."

After hearing this, Hu Xiuer and the old man also realized that what they wanted was the woman in the family.

Thinking of this, the two people's eyes changed at the same time, and they looked at the old woman, "Don't worry, even if I sell everything I have, I will definitely return it to you."
